Trainings and Certifications
Ongoing professional development is a core part of my commitment to providing ethical, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. The trainings and certifications on this page reflect my dedication to continually expanding my clinical knowledge, deepening my skills, and staying informed about current best practices in the field of mental health. I believe transparency about my areas of training and expertise is an important part of helping clients determine whether I may be a good fit for their needs!
Beyond formal education, I also participate in regular group and individual consultation and supervision with other therapists, allowing me to reflect thoroughly on my work, receive diverse perspectives, and ensure that the care I provide is grounded, collaborative, and aligned with professional standards.
